4 an outline of today s talk: What is Green Building? why Benefits of Green Building Examples how Does Green Building Pay? Short Recap

5 Green Building & The Triple Bottom Line

6 What is Green Building? Design, construction and operating practices that create high quality, healthy living and working spaces in a manner that are both fiscally and environmentally responsible. These practices address: Site issues Water efficiency Energy efficiency Conservation of materials and resources Healthy Indoor Environments

7 Benefits of Green Building Why? For the environment For health & well-being For your bottom line

8 U.S. Building Impacts: 12% Water Use 30% Greenhouse Gas Emissions 65% Waste Output 70% Electricity Consumption Test

9 Average Savings of Green Buildings CARBON SAVINGS 35% WATER USE SAVINGS 30-50% WASTE COST SAVINGS 50-90% ENERGY SAVINGS 30% Green Source: Building 101: The Why s and How s Capital E Test

10 Health gains from improved Indoor Air Quality As indicated by reduced symptoms for flu, asthma, allergies, respiratory infections, headaches, and colds. FRESH AIR POLLUTANT FILTER MOISTURE CONTROL 41% fewer symptoms 42% fewer symptoms 44% fewer symptoms Test

11 A $4 investment per square foot in building green nets a $58 benefit per square foot over 20 years $8.50 OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE SAVINGS $1.20 EMISSIONS SAVINGS $0.50 WATER SAVINGS $5.80 ENERGY SAVINGS $46.00 EST. HEALTH & PRODUCTIVITY BENEFITS COST $4.00 PSF BENEFIT $62.00 PSF Test

15 POROUS CONCRETE Captures stormwater and allows it to seep into the ground & recharges groundwater, reducing stormwater runoff In parking lots it creates more efficient land use by eliminating the need for retention ponds, swales, and other stormwater management devices. Parking lot Franklin, WI Pervious concrete uses the same materials as conventional concrete, with the exceptions that the fine aggregate typically is eliminated entirely, and the size distribution (grading) of the coarse aggregate is kept narrow, allowing for relatively little particle packing.

29 Does building green pay? Only 5 10% of the total life cycle cost of owning and operating a building is design and construction. The remaining 90% is operations and maintenance. JohnsonDiversey LEED-EB Gold, Pilot Project 2004

30 Improved Bottom Line % ENERGY SAVINGS VERIFIED PERFORMANCE ENHANCED PRODUCTIVITY REDUCED LIABILITY & IMPROVED RISK MANAGEMENT INCREASED VALUE Test

31 RECAP. Lower Construction Costs Reduced site preparation and landscaping Lower waste disposal costs by 50 to 98 percent Reduced Operating Costs Lower utility costs by 20 to 50 percent Reduced maintenance costs Higher Valuation of Building Rule of Thumb: divide reduction in annual operating costs by 10 percent to get increased value of building. Up to $4 increased valuation for every $1 spent.

32 RECAP. More Productive Environment Better tenant and worker attraction/retention Less absenteeism by 45 percent Higher productivity up to 16 percent Reduced Insurance and Risk of Liability Healthy occupants, greater occupant satisfaction Lower environmental impacts Streamlined regulatory approvals Higher Visibility and Marketability

33 Other Useful Programs for Sustainable Buildings Focus on Energy, A state-wide public benefits program with resources for commercial buildings WasteCap Wisconsin, A non-profit organization specializing in helping businesses reduce the amount of waste going to landfills, while at the same time helping them to reduce costs.
